Is a 5 foot cable really the minimum length as per the manual? Anyone test for packet loss with jumpers?

What is the maximum length for an ethernet cable to be connected to this switch? If I have 25ft cables connected should that make a difference? What about 50ft? That is my situation and I am concerned that this switch might not provide enough power over such long distances. If those are too far, can anyone recommend a different (possibly higher-powered) switch?

I'm using 2 ft jumpers to connect from a Patch Panel to the TrendNet switch . . . I didn't see anything in the manual about min. 5 feet cable, but I wasn't reading word-for-word -- I'm guessing that is the length needed for the Switch to detect a short cable and lower transmission to be more power "green."

The length might work (best to measure) but buy a different cable, as this one is junk (not CAT5 inside)

Just remember POE over long distances will be a problem.... its not solid copper... that's why its cheaper....its great for data only up to 600 feet +

I believe the 802.11ae standard specifies a max length of 100 meters. You may be able to go a little longer, but you may have issues.

They cannot route over multiples switches and router. Just the distance of the cable (~ 350ft)

The maximum length of a USB cable is 15ft.. Anything more than that and it degrades the signal and the power is not transferred as well. The wires inside the cable are very thin and don't conduct very well over distances. You could do a USB over Ethernet adapter and then you can go up to 300 ft as the adapter is powered..

Amazon may be using the box size (for shipping reasons) but the TP Link dimensions you have listed are accurate. BTW: I have not had a single problem with this switch. I plugged it in and it has been trouble free. Also, I tested internet speeds before and after the switch and there is barely a difference.

I am not sure about a maximum cable length. I would keep your cable runs as short as possible and make sure your connections are tight. The kit comes with 20 foot 30 foot and a 50 foot lengths of cable and I do believe it is standard RG6 coax which carries a signal a long way.

This is definitely approaching the limit for sure. I think they make a 75 footer, that also has a relay in the middle like this one, but I wouldn't string several together. Your data transfer rates will end up in the toilet for sure.

I have also run more like 75' of cat5e cable and mine is working fine. I would trust the long cat5 cable more than the wireless link. Tech support's 10' comment was off-base.

The small RG58 size cable at 2.4 GHz loses over 1 dB per meter. If the antenna has 14 dB gain, you lose any gain after ~14 meters. So YES you'll need another solution like moving the router with the antenna and linking with CAT 5 which is good to ~ 100 meters.

Well, i actually use some other Ethernet cable I had in the house, that is quite shorter, so I don't have I use the cable the floor board brought, which is super long, thatni use in the studio or giging, most likely your cable is defective. Try a different one

Hi,Cabel is short 10~15 as I can remember. I used cat5 To extend to more tnan 100 ft.

They indicate it to be "High Speed" which would mean 10.2 Gbps (Gigabits per second). And it says it can also support Ethernet. Now it does not say how big the wires are (which is the size of the pipe) from which we can determine its maximum length to achieve 10Gbps. But given that is only 6 Ft, it is well within its range of capabilities, this is an assumption. Bottom line is, I like these cables, they work, I don't see anything weird in my video, the sound is good, it is cheap. I have no complaints.

Dear Craig P. Ephraim, Be happy to answer your questions, there are two specifications of such data cable 1M and 1.5M long, this listing is 1M, they can charge and transfer data! If you still do not understand, welcome letters continue to consult! CableBox

Cat5 and Cat6 cable is only considered reliable for 100m which is about 300ft plus 20 ft for patch cables. You will need to use an extender unit to boost the signal on both ends.
